First time at the Salon and will definately be back.

Carolines colour knowledge is immense and she put me at ease from the minute I sat down. She explained every part of the process down to a tee!! She knows her stuff and is very personable!!! The salon is modern and immaculate, the music playlist was fab and the customer service amazing!! Oh and the seats at the basin area are amazing and comfortable!! Cant wait for my next visit and would definately recommend.

A fantastic hairdressers, everyone is always positive, smiling, and genuinely happy in what they do and thier jobs.

And the cut? I'm always unsure what to do with my hair yet Caroline seems to be a mind reader every time. Haven't had a bad cut or colour ever, trusting her, her skills and talent as a hairdresser to experiment with styles and dyes I would never do, ever. I've always vowed I'd never go blonde yet I'm now a rose gold blonde. Always a positive experience having my hair done, and always a great laugh.

I was a little apprehensive about trying a new salon going to the same one for 8-9 years and having a couple of negatives experiences.I had my hair done by Courtney F yesterday and am really happy with the results. Courtney is lovely and really understood what I was after. Salon itself is bright and very welcoming, will definitely be coming back.

The minute you walk into Tom Stronach Hair Salon you know that you will be looked after and made to feel special. The receptionist was extremely welcoming even offering tea or coffee. At no time did I feel that I was being rushed through. Tom cut my hair and as always, an excellent cut. Very pleased with the relaxing service. Lovely atmosphere in this new hair salon. Decor very clean and stylish.

I made a spontaneous visit to the salon today (7 june 2018) during lunchtime and was welcomed by Tom and the receptionist, both of whom were very helpful and polite. I chose the lovely stylist Leanne for my cut. She was friendly, easy to chat to and helped me decide what cut would suit me. I am very happy with the result. The salon itself is so spacious, modern and the general aesthetic is great. I'd highly recommend booking an appt with any one of the talented stylists. Thanks again. I'll be back for a colour :)
